GONE

One

He comes backstage , shirtless and sweating as usual , and heads straight toward me with the biggest smile on his face.
"The crowd is amazing tonight ," I yell at him over the blaring intermission music .
He nods his head , taking a big gulp of water.
"But I'm just glad I get to see you," he says pulling me into the second bear hug of the evening.
I snuggle my head into the crook of his neck.
"3 months, " I say ," and still 2 more to go before you get a real break."
"I know , Mel," he sighs ," but at least we get to spend a night together before I leave again."
"Just a night," I whine.
"I know. But we'll make the most of it ok?Dont we always?"
He steps back , giving me his signature smirk.
"What are you hinting at , Glover?" I reply, not being able to control the small smile playing at my lips.
"You'll see . But for right now I have an hour left of a show to finish...so don't get too hot and bothered while I'm unable to attend to you."
I feel heat in my cheeks and slap his arm.
He just laughs , and leans in to kiss my cheek.
"See you later , baby."
And he's running off onto platform, the thousands of fans already chanting his name.
